What the Irish Have Said: A Knowledge Cards Deck of Memorable Quotes

The pantheon of writers, revolutionaries, scientists, artists, reformers, and politicians featured in this deck of Knowledge Cards illustrates over 1,500 years of Irish history, culture, and achievement---from the fifth-century Saint Patrick to the Jacobite Patrick Sarsfield to Neil Jordan, director of the 1992 hit movie 'The Crying Game.' One side of each card presents a quotation by a noted Irish figure, identified only by the title and date of the work from which it derives or the circumstances in which it was spoken; the other side identifies the writer or speaker and provides a brief biographical sketch. Thus, you can use these cards as a quiz deck on Irish letters or simply as an introduction to forty-eight of the most remarkable individuals that Ireland ever produced. Size: 3 1/4 x 4 inches.
